Why This Vote Matters
Richmond will officially compete to host UC Berkeley's new National Laboratory campus. The council unanimously authorized the city manager to submit a formal proposal and appointed a committee to present Richmond's case to the UC Board of Regents. This could bring significant jobs and research activity to the city if Richmond is selected from among competing locations. The decision represents a routine economic development opportunity that all seven council members supported.
